ASA.....almost paperless!

How can you lie about your fuel onboard when the ACARS system automatically sends the FOB when the out time is transmitted?

That too. "OUT" fuel is very accurate. "OFF" fuel is a little FUBAR because of whatever reason (fuel sloshing as the FO tries to find the centerline/ proper slip angle for crosswind liftoff (if any)).

At ASA our times are transmitted via ACARS but we're still supposed to call in our fuel burns, can anyone explain why? Our out, off, on, and in fuel is in the ACARS along with the times so why is this necessary?

It's because they never trusted YOU Shamrock. ;-)

Jeez, it took you what, 30 seconds to respond? Don't you have some triathlon training to do or something?

And I don't lie about my fuel, EVER. I don't need to, for some reason I always have 10+ kids onboard so I'm not weight limited unless I want to be.

So that they can extend you? That's what I always thought.

That's because I'm following you RIGHT NOW. I'm in your living room watching OVER YOU. Making sure you're NOT LYING on your W&B report. Brian Ledousche is paying me to do it too.

So how did day one of ACARS w&b go?

 

[Stifler's Mom]

So how did day one of ACARS w&b go?

Not bad, except not one ramper or gate agent knew about the switch. Had to explain to them that all they get now is a signed release.

Now if we can just get the FAs to hang up the PA and close the door, we'll be great.

It's really not that bad. Only took 1 flight to learn how to do it, and after that it was a piece of cake. Not much longer than the time it takes to initialize the FMS.

Way to go Brad.:beer:

That's why your number, not mine, is listed on every W/B report I run.

I know! Mine was so slow that every time we finished the paperwork last week with 1 or 2 mins left till D0, she is walking and jabbering halfway down the aisle! I would jump out, hand out the paper work, and close the door....You should have seen how she looked at me, and everytime I had to explain that I am trying to get an on time departure. I know she is just trying to do her job, but at the worst time.

 

[rightseatjocky]

I have flown with USC Trojan many many times. I would watch this guy. He is a trouble maker.
haha.

 

[McNugent]

Now if the captains would just release the freaking break when the door closes. 2 guys in one week wouldn't release the break ASAP, so now I have to get sneaky and do it when they aren't looking. It's gonna take some time for this new fangled ACARS crap to seep into the thick skulls out there.

And you do this only after you politely reminded them to release the brake, right?
